For the following, the term "window" refers to what's visible on the display. 
For a Focus 40, therefore, the window length is 40 characters.

The whiz wheels can be used to perform the following functions:

   go to beginning of line: LeftWheelPress
   go to end of line: RightWheelPress
   go up one line: LeftWheelUp
   go down one line: LeftWheelDown
   go left one window: RightWheelUp
   go right one window: RightWheelDown
   go up to nearest line with different content: LeftWheelPress+LeftWheelUp
   go down to nearest line with different content: LeftWheelPress+LeftWheelDown
   go left one character: RightWheelPress+RightWheelUp
   go right one character: RightWheelPress+RightWheelDown
   go up to previous command prompt: LeftAdvance+LeftWheelUp
   go down to next command prompt: LeftAdvance+LeftWheelDown
   go up to last line of previous paragraph: RightAdvance+LeftWheelUp
   go down to first line of next paragraph: RightAdvance+LeftWheelDown
   go up to nearest line with different highlighting: LeftGdf+LeftWheelUp
   go down to nearest line with different highlighting: LeftGdf+LeftWheelDown
   search backward for clipboard text: RightGdf+LeftWheelUp
   search forward for clipboard text: RightGdf+LeftWheelDown
   place left end of window at character: LeftWheelPress+RoutingKey
   describe character: RightWheelPress+RoutingKey

The rocker bars can be used to perform the following functions:

   cursor-up key: LeftRockerUp
   cursor-down key: LeftRockerDown
   go up one line: RightRockerUp
   go down one line: RightRockerDown

No rocker combinations have been defined yet, but this can easily be done in 
order to give those keys even more functionality.

If you encounter anything that doesn't work correctly with brltty then please 
give details.
